This is a compact, substantial tamper. The two threaded halves are individually adjustable for depth and deserve you spending some time to tweak the settings. You can then ‘lock’ in your depth with the center lug. I used my measuring spoon to add the coffee, rotated the distributer then adjusted the threads so it was sitting minimum height above the portafilter lip.** Rotate the distributer (propeller side) the wrong direction & it will not level, but push grounds out of your filter.Then take the time to compress the grounds with the other side. Keep adjusting the depth until the tamper side is just flush with the filter lip. I don’t worry about 25-30 lb pressure, just use two hands and my body weight over my counter top. Really worried about pressure? Put your bathroom scale on your counter and press on it to check your force.My coffee measure gets treated by one simple, sturdy tool instead of two, less clutter and a consistent shot. I’m very happy with this device.

At 51mm it’s fits inside the La Pavoni Professional basket with a little bit of wiggle room.(New Group 2000 onwards)The La Pavoni snuggly fits 51.5mm Tamps so this leveller & tamp fits easily with 0.5mm spare and does a great job.Easily adjustable for depth on both sides, nice weight and does a great job giving a consistent puck that is evenly distributed, level and well tamped in one easy tool.Well worth the asking price and I’ve enjoyed the results to date.

TOO SMALL
The tamper seems to be a quality product, but it was advertised to fit Delonghi Espresso machines and it does not. There doesn’t seem to be alot of information about the size of the Cup Filter Assembly for the Delonghi EC155M Manual Espresso Machine, but it is actually 53MM NOT 51MM. When using the 51MM tamper you will push coffee around versus tamping it down. 2MM will make a big difference when used properly.

Heavy, well made adjustable both sides. Fits custom and stock portafilters that I have. Have only used twice, that’s the reason for 4 stars for now5 stars. Works perfectly

Tengo una cafetera que tiene un tamper de plastico y la verdad no queda como me gusta, con este tamper el cafe queda muy bein compactada y a nivel. Me parecio un precio justo, teniendo en cuenta que el material se ve muy buy robusto y de buen acabado.

Perfect. Great build quality. Does its job.
This thing is a tank. It’s heavy, sturdy, beautifully built, and best of all, tamps my coffee. My only warning is that there is a minimum tamp and distributer depth. What I mean is that you can easily adjust the tamp or distributer to, for instance, put 13g in an 18g basket and have it be perfectly level. You just cant lower the depth enough to get a good distribution if you’re squeezing 19g in an 18g basket. Since this actually helps make sure you have enough space between the puck and shower head, I’m not counting it against the design. Just a word of warning for those of us squeezing in larger than designed doses.
